When twelve-year-old Aaron must stay with his father in Egypt, he knows he's going to die. But worse happens when he's accidentally swept back in time to Ancient Egypt with his friend, Manar. Sharp-witted Manar draws on her Bedouin skills, knowledge of hieroglyphics, and history to help them survive. They befriend a young Tutankhamun, the same age yet already a king, and learn a powerful spell from his stepmother Queen Nefertiti, but if misused, it could cast them into the underworld. They expose a plotting vizier, and fight angry gods who claim Aaron is the mortal son of a banished God, Aten Ra. Those aren't even their toughest battles. They don't know how to get back home.
